Tips For Staying Near Pearson Convention Centre

Location

The Pearson Convention Centre is located on Steeles Avenue in east Brampton, Ontario, within an 11-minute drive of Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) and just south of on- and off-ramps for the 407 Highway.

This recently renovated (as of 2013), 25,000-square foot convention centre has seating for 2,000, six banquet halls (with 16-foot ceilings) and full audio and video support for presentations. It offers full catering services and hosts can take advantage of the event coordinator to assist in planning any number of events, from weddings to holiday parties to seminars to trade shows.

For visitors who smoke, there is a designated outdoor smoking patio. There are also several patios and windowed seating areas for visitors to enjoy.

The convention centre's stretch of Steeles Avenue is also called Highway 15, and is broken into two distinct roads for traffic moving in each direction. The Pearson Convention Centre is on the western side of Steeles, where traffic moves southwest. To drive northeast, travellers can turn around at Torbram Road, the first major intersection.

As noted above, access to Highway 407 is just north of the Pearson Convention Centre, less than 5 minutes away by car. Travellers will want to note that Highway 407 is a toll highway.

Downtown Brampton is about 15 minutes away by car.

All of the hotels closest to the convention centre that are featured below are within a 15-minute drive, and most are less than 10 minutes away by car. For travellers who need taxi service, A-1 is a popular choice in Brampton.
